HAhahahaha. it's so true. Beign from the Buffalo area, if you are under age going into Canada, just say you are going there to get drunk. They let you right through.
Visually? You can test it with ur eyes and know its pot? I watched the guy get in the car look and then he led us inside.
EDIT: This occure din Buffalo actually, going into Niagra Falls.

DETECTORS...not DOCTORS.
They weren't trying to get you to say anything, they could tell YOU were hiding something. (well they may have tried to get you to say something, but thats irrelevant) These guys have seen every trick in the book, every type of person, and they can spot these things a mile away.
Maybe your car smells like pot and you just don't know because youre used to it.
So you write this
And then get pissed when people flame you over it? :roll:
And no sh!t you got picked for a search. If you're dumb enough to try smuggling something, expect your plate/license/etc to be on the Search On Sight list.

I wasnt hiding anything though cause when we got to the border I honestly beleived that I didnt have anyhting in the car that I could get in trouble for, Imagine my suprise when that borken pipe materialized. And It does smell faintly now and then, I dont doubt that the smell could have been a reason
I know thats why i removed the anti canada thing, that was me being stupid cause im not actually that mad about it. I apologize, and I know that I am on a list now I dont deny that. And i was in a different car last time so i figure it was cause my lisence was in the computer, but the US people didnt give it a second glance. oh well.
I expected I would get hasseled going into the US cause of the Homeland thing, thast why i was suprised when i went inot Canada and they gave me more trouble then the US customs.
It is illegal to possess or distribute marijuana.
However, you can apply for a license to grow it for medication purpose.
You have to find a person that use the drug as medicine, or convince the doctor to prescribe the drug to you or another person that you know. You then can grow a small amount in behalf of the legal drug user (I think that you are allow to possess up to 20 plants at any given time).

No, that's not profiling - that's "just cause."
Bob Marley t-shirt - that's profiling.
If someone crossing the border had on a shirt that says "I love using explosives to cause death and destruction," I hope the border patrol would check their vehicle.

Wait a second - what kind of a person who uses explosives to cause death and destruction would be stupid enough to wear such a t-shirt while passing through customs. No one could be that stupid, could they? <glances at the original post and notices the similarity>
Big Boned? WTF? When have you *ever* seen a fat skeleton before?
Anyhow, it's funny you took that comment away. If you meant it, stick with your words and man up. Only thing funnier is:
1. You looked like a dirtbag, and are young with a potleaf on your phone, in a car that smells like pot, with a piece of a pipe in the trunk, AND a record for trying to smuggle pot across the border, and you call us retards? That's called the system working. Surprised they even let you into the country; they could have easily sent you home, or much much worse.
2. The fact you had to lift your nuts for a customs guard. Now that's some funny stuff, and almost balances out your comments that you removed. Thanks for the laugh.
Haha, I normally just lurk... but this is just too tempting to pass over.
Did you cross at Niagara? See any of my friends who are CBSA officers? Dude, you so got what you deserved. Knowing the crap that my buddies have to put up with, you probably mouthed off, really were stoned off your ass and probably made some comment about being an American and how they can't do any of this to you. On both sides of the border, they don't need a warrant to search you and can hold you there for 24 hours just because they don't like the way you look. When you pull up to the checkpoint, they make a point of looking at the cars who aren't at their booth just to catch people hiding stuff under their seats. CBSA may not carry guns, but they can make your life real miserable, especially if you have a previous record in the USA. And no, they can't charge you with impared driving for being stoned, that right there is total BS on your part. Impared driving requires an actual scentific backing to prove that someone is impared, such as a BAC, whatever. There is a whole legal mess right now because cops can't charge people with impared driving, even if they get pulled over with a joint in their mouth. If he really did say that, he was bluffing and finding a reason to eject you from Canada and ban you from entering for the next year or so.
I cross into the USA all the time. The first thing I do is hand them photo ID and proof of citizenship without being asked. When the officer asks me my citizenship, I reply with "Canadian, sir." I then politely answer all questions, don't add anything extra, and make a point of maintaining eye contact. I also put the car in park, if not outright turn it off. I do my best to do the same when I'm re-entering Canada. Show our CBSA agents some respect, don't treat them like dirt, don't expect to get into this country stoned, and we'll gladly let you enter.
There, now back to lurking I go

Hah, I'm gonna be extra sure to ask around tomorrow to see if any of my friends stopped a Buffalonian punk and decided to teach him a lesson by making him lift his sack. Hah, should be good for a laugh.
Funny thread, only cause me and my friends got hassled as well!
Here goes:
Back in mid-summer, my friends and I decide to go up to Canada from my apartment in Rochester NY. We don't go through Niagra but through one of the nearby ones. Anyways, we get to the gates... I answer the questions and we hand over our licences. We were four 20-21 year old white guys from Philadelphia, PA, which is probably a good enough reason for them to tell us to go over to the building a few hundred feet ahead. Damnit, this might get ugly.
So we park at the building and are swarmed by the boarder patrol guards who persist to ask the same damn questions. They tell us to wait inside. While this is happening they are completely ripping apart my mom's minivan in the parking lot. "Is this your car?" and "Does your mom know you have it?" were probably the most commonly asked questions. So we're waiting inside the office and this stone cold bitch of woman calls me up cause I'm the driver. (She wasn't bad looking at all, and her authority role just made her hotter... but ya gotta respeck!). She asks me what we're doing in Canada.
I tell her "We're basically going to check out Niagra falls, gamble and get drunk."
"Where are you going to stay?"
"Uhm... no where we're going to drive back tonight."
"How much money do you have on you?"
My 3 friends: not too much. Me: 100 bucks.
"And you're just going to Canada... to party?"
"Exactly."
She tells us to sit back down. Then I get called into the back room. I hand over my wallet, and the one patrolee just misses my 2 fake IDs in my wallet. Thank god for that. I take off my shoes and he checks them. All the while he's asking questions, "Do you smoke pot, Do your friends smoke pot?" What the hell did he know? We were smoking yes, but not that day and we wouldn't have left any evidence in my mom's minivan. I of course declined that any of us smoked the ganj. I guess they found nothing in the car and just wanted to get me to jump.
I go back to the waiting room (after reading the OP I'm incredibly glad that I didn't get stripped searched. Now that's just too funny). My other friends go back one by one... and come out successfully... except my friend Trey who is quite the character. The boarder patrol guys were asking him about his "emergency condom" that was on his keychain and a whole bunch of other crap he said to mess with their heads. In the end they said "When you leave Canada, make sure to take Trey with you... we don't want him here!"
The woman calls us back up to the desk and says "Guys you need to give me a better reason than partying." "No really, we're just going to party... I have a list of bars in my car." (Like a dumbass I head out to my car to get this list. This is the point where we should've said we were just sightseeing. It would've made this a whole lot easier). So finally the woman checks the list .... We tell her we might hit up St Catherines, .... might go to Toronto. The fact that any of us have never been to Canada and had no idea where we were going probably set her off. Anyways, after enough question answering and debauchery, they finally let us slip. The trip was worth it... we went to Toronto, despite the sh*tty welcome we got at baorder patrol. But hey, at least we didnt get our assholes searched.
On the way back we hit the boarder into the US at like 6 AM. I'm completely mashed and my friends are passed out. A few questions out of us from the US guard and he let us slide. I would've been in deep shet had he put us through the same ordeal as the Canadians.
